Quick Reference to Critical Care

Rating:
Summary: Most user friendly reference
Review: I originally purchased this book when I was new to critical care. Recently my copy was misplaced, and I find it difficult to use any other book! It is small enough to have with you at work, and is easy to look up important facts quickly in an ICU setting. There isn't a lot of "fluff" and just the ncecessary information.

Summary: Critical Care Quick Review
Review: I work in a Level 1 Trauma Hospital in the Medical and Cardiac Critical care unit, which means really sick patients, with a high acuity level. This book is one of the most user-friendly, comprehensive, how-to manuals I have ever come across. In fact, we have adopted this book for part of our hospital-wide critical care classes with the nursing staff. The detailed descriptions of what it is, why it is, and how to perform the many procedures that we use in critical care were accurately and simply written for even the earliest beginner to understand. It's updated material and medications were current to the info we also use today. I have not found any other book to rival its complete and thorough information. I highly recommend this manual for any nurse, either considering to go into, or in the critical care field!

Summary: Wonderful handbook
Review: This is a wonderful handbook of the most important ICU facts. It is very easy to read and has just about everything you need to know about caring for a patient in critical care. Since I have bought the book it has served as a reference guide as well as a study tool for the CCRN exam. I highly recommend this book to any ICU nurse!
